Following a tough loss on Friday night to Upper St. Clair, the football team is looking to bounce back against Moon this week.

The Highlanders dropped their first section game, 35-21. Baldwin had led 21-14 at halftime, but Upper St. Clair came on strong in the second half.

Senior receiver Naseer Penn had two catches for two touchdowns in the first half. Penn and senior quarterback Mason Stahl showed they have good chemistry together.

“I had a pretty solid game, but I was not the only one who did,” Penn said.

After a strong start on offense in the first half, Baldwin was held scoreless in the second half.

“We definitely need to focus on our offensive blocking and I hope we can do better against Moon,” senior Angelo Priore said.

Baldwin plays Moon on Friday night in the first home game of the season.
